How does the “Approved Supplier” (QA status) functions work?

This function will enable the system to restrict users from selectin g supplier that have been tagged   “Not approved”, as the supplier for an order. but it will allow the user to send the supplier an RFQ

In the example below one “approved supplier”, one “not recommended” and one “not approved” supplier have been included in the order supplier list.

The user may send an RFQ to all three of the suppliers.

If user selects the “Not Recommended” supplier the user will be notified that the supplier is “not recommended” and ask user to confirm the selection.

If the user tries to select the “Not approved” supplier as the supplier for the order, the user will not be allowed to. There is a user right available that will allow the user to override the restriction, even if it is not approved. The user will be requested to state a reason for the selection.

Selecting the “Approved” supplier will work as normal.
